tcp: more accurately check DSACKs to grow RACK reordering window
Previously, a DSACK could expand the RACK reordering window when no reordering has been seen, and/or when the DSACK was due to an unnecessary TLP retransmit (rather than a spurious fast recovery due to reordering). This could result in unnecessarily growing the RACK reordering window and thus unnecessarily delaying RACK-based fast recovery episodes. To avoid these issues, this commit tightens the conditions under which a DSACK triggers the RACK reordering window to grow, so that a connection only expands its RACK reordering window if: (a) reordering has been seen in the connection (b) a DSACKed range does not match the most recent TLP retransmit Signed-off-by: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Acked-by: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Acked-by: Priyaranjan Jha <priyarjha@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
